libertia grass
Libertia grass is a striking addition to New Zealand gardens, prized for its architectural foliage and elegant, iris-like flowers. Often mistaken for small ornamental grasses, Libertia species actually belong to the iris family and offer year-round interest. With their sword-shaped leaves and creamy white blooms, libertia grass is perfect for creating texture in perennial borders, filling gaps in native gardens, or using as stylish ground cover. Because these plants are hardy, low maintenance, and tolerant of both sun and light shade, they suit a wide range of landscapes—from contemporary urban spaces to wild, natural plantings. If you want to bring structure, colour, and native charm to your outdoor space, libertia grass is an excellent choice.
